989970 divided by 24 
We're looking to find how many times 24 goes into 989970.

Let's proceed to step 1:
24 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
24 can be fit into 98 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 96 from 98.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 24

On to step 3:
If we divide 29 by 24, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 24 from 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
The number 24 fits into 59 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 412.0
Subtract 48 from 59 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
117 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4124.0
Subtract 96 from 117 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 210 / 24

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 210 by 24, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41248.0
If we subtract 192 from 210, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
24 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41248.7
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
120 divided by 24 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 41248.75
Subtracting 120 from 120 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
24 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41248.75
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
24 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41248.75
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 41248.75 with a balance of 0.0.
